摘要:
A recording member having a predetermined substrate, and a thin film which is formed on the substrate and which is formed with recesses or pits for recording information when irradiated with a working beam, characterized in that said thin film is formed of an inorganic material which contains at least arsenic, selenium and tellurium, and that a distribution of either of said Se and said Te decreases from a part near the surface of said thin film towards a central part thereof, while a distribution of said As increases from a part near the surface towards said central part, is disclosed. This recording member can afford a high signal-to-noise ratio and a long lifetime. It is preferable that the distribution of said Se decreases so as to be at least 50 atomic-% in terms of the content of said Se in a part being the closest to the surface of said thin film and to be at most 40 atomic-% in terms of the average content of said Se over the whole thin film, and that the distribution of said As increases so as to be at most 15 atomic-% in terms of the content of said As in the closest part and to be 5 to 35 atomic-% in terms of the average content of said As in said whole thin film. The Se-Te-As-based material may well be doped with at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ge, S, Tl, Sn, Pb, In and Ta, within a range of 2 to 15 atomic-%.

A recording medium having at least a first inorganic material layer which overlies a predetermined substrate and which exhibits a light absorptivity for projected light, and a recording layer which overlies the first inorganic material layer and whose principal component is an organic material. The first inorganic material layer contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of In, Bi, Te, Sb, Ge, Sn, Pb, Cr, Nb, Ni, Pd, Fe, Pt, Re, Ta, Th, Ti, Zr and Tl and the content of the element or elements is at least 65 atomic-%.Further, the first inorganic material layer may well be overlaid with a second inorganic material layer which exhibits a light transmissivity higher than that of this first inorganic material layer. Preferable as the material of the second inorganic material layer is an inorganic material which contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of In, Bi, Te, Sb, Pb, Ge and Sn and at least one element selected from the group consisting of S, Se and O.In proximity to at least one surface of the first inorganic material layer, at least one stabilizing layer may be disposed as well.
摘要:
A recording medium in which a substrate, an inorganic material layer adapted to absorb light and generate heat, a first organic material layer made of an organic matter containing metal, and a second organic material layer adapted to be deformed or removed by heat are successively stacked. A metal salt of an organic acid, or organic metal compound etc. are employed for the first organic material layer. Owing to the presence of this layer, the recording medium exhibits a stability against changes in the ambient temperature.

A desired portion of information stored in the form of holes using hole burning phenomena is erased by irradiating a desired portion of a recording medium with light so as to erase desired holes. In this way it is possible to erase selectively only desired information among information stored in a PHB memory and further to rewrite information in the portion, where information has been erased.

Disclosed is a wavelength multiplexing optical recording apparatus comprising laser sources radiating a plurality of laser beams of different wavelengths, an optical system for focusing the laser beams, and an optical recording medium having a plurality of optical recording layers with wavelength sensitivities for selective recording by said laser beams focused by said optical system. The optical recording layers of recording medium are laminated with distances between adjacent layers being made consistent with biased focal positions of the laser beams attributable to the chromatic aberration of the optical system, so that the laser beams are focused on the optical recording layers of corresponding wavelength sensitivities.
摘要:
In an optical recording method which utilizes hole burning, a plurality of sorts of light absorption centers having different properties are caused to coexist or to exist in the form of layers, thereby to remove the problem that, although the multiplicity of recording is high, the spacial recording density is low, so the overall recording density is low. Accordingly, the present invention can provide an optical recording method of very high recording density.

In an electrophotographic member employing an amorphous silicon photoconductive layer, a part which is at least 10 nm thick inwardly of the amorphous silicon layer from the surface (or interface) of the amorphous silicon layer is made of amorphous silicon which has an optical forbidden band gap of at least 1.6 eV and a resistivity of at least 10.sup.10 .OMEGA..cm. The electrophotographic member exhibits a satisfactory resolution and good dark-decay characteristics. Further, a region which has an optical forbidden band gap narrower than that of the amorphous silicon forming the surface (or interface) region is disposed within the amorphous silicon layer to a thickness of at least 10 nm, whereby the sensitivity of the electrophotographic member to longer wavelengths of light can be enhanced.
